JASWANT THADA
Since 1899
Why The Best: Jaswant Thada is a cenotaph often referred to as the Taj Mahal of Mewar, showcasing the marble splendour of Rajasthan situated in Jodhpur, Rajasthan, India. The place was constructed in 1899 by Maharaja Sardar Singh of Jodhpur State, and this mausoleum serves as the cremation ground for the royal Rajput family of Marwar, dedicated to Maharaja Jaswant Singh II, the father of Maharaja Sardar Singh. Fashioned from pure white marble, Jaswant Thada has maintained its timeless allure and features artwork from Mewar's earlier emperors. The main monument, set amidst lush flora and illuminated by contrasting colours in the sunlight, presents a stunning sight. The interiors of Jaswant Thada house memorials are adorned with intricate artwork, offering a historical narrative. This cenotaph becomes a significant place to worship ancestors, a practice deeply ingrained in the Rajput clans.
